Typical 1st mod you do to your 'Balt?

I am picking up my SS sedan today. Just curious whats the first mod most of you have done to yours? I think titing the windows might be first for me. Was thinking about doing the grill change at some point.
Anyone have any idea if it is possible to replace the cloth seats with leather ones at a later date and what costs that might entail?

I saw leather covers that are made to fit that particular seat. I believe they were on Ebay.

Well, let's see. I put a spoiler on mine (which you won't have to do) and 16's. That's as far as I got, and it's looking like that's as far as I'll go...

Debadging is a freebie mod... so I don't count that.

After that... I'd start with either Window Tint... or an Intake.

Not enough power to justify sounding like a C-130 in the cab.

I am sorry that I don't know ANYTHING about engine/performance mods so...Which intake is recommended, is this an expensive mod and who would install it? What kind of difference will it make? I have the non supercharged sedan.
